Frankly, Amazon has a headstart giving it a little bit of a skill moat against Google, but for you not to mention Google Assistant at all is ludicris to me.
Voice controlled smart assistants is Google's bread and butter, and Amazon is only tangentially connected to that world while Apple is a hardware company looking in.
Both of these companies will have to "re-invent" themselves to compete with Google, and again, Amazon's speed into the market has given them an artificial moat with certain skills, but I think it's inevitable that Google's voice recognition and assistant will be far superior to what Amazon and Apple can ultimately produce.
I already get a lot of eyeballs from Alexa users when they see what Google Assistant does, that's only going to escalate as Google gets more and more serious about leveraging their very unique skills and data into a moat that Amazon and Apple will struggle to compete with.
